Delhi Elections - AAP ki BJP aur Congress -

Many a times number of my friends,
networks ask me about my views on politics and the current scenario Delhi / India
is grappling with. Not that I am not an
avid fan of Indian politics but yes, I do like to read and keep myself updated
about the same and yes at times , I know a lot .

Usually not the one who would want
to share this on my personal webpage but thought of sharing some pointers for
you to think about. Like they say in politics there is nothing right or wrong. The sole objective of politics according to
me is progress - of the country, the people and yes, the political party leading
it.

Will share an interesting incident
that happened today with me. As I was driving from home to work at the traffic
signal I got greeted by a lady ( mid 30s ) with a huge cut out of
Mr.Arvind Kejriwal . She knocked on the window, greeted me with a namaste and
said please vote for AAP . I asked her why so and she said he will bring
development.

I told her he got a chance
then left the government to which she said he and the party were new and hence.
And since the red was turning to green I told her –Ma’am you and Mr.Kejriwal
cannot be playing with people’s thinking ,
emotions and most importantly their hard earned money and asking for
fresh elections every time at your whims and fancies. If he was new he should have not started at
the first place. He should have
supported BJP and worked together since he believes one person can make a
difference and BJP already was the single largest party . The lady just kept
smiling and so did I and drove ahead.

Like you all know ,the money spent
on elections is public money and by forcing fresh elections in Delhi within a
year, they have created pressure on the exchequer and on the public of Delhi .If you go by morality, the mandate of the
public was in favour of BJP last time. AAP should have extended its support to
BJP on the basis of issues( since they do issues based politics ) . AAP calls itself an honest party and they
joined hands with Congress which they said earlier had increased corruption in
the country. This says it all .

Just when I started I saw the famous
auto rickshaw of Delhi having a poster of AAP claiming AAP is getting 47 seats
and BJP 23 . The first thing which I thought was why and how in the world can
you completely scrap a 129 year old party from the race - the Indian National Congress and claim it will
get zero seats and then this is the same party which supported AAP earlier for
a government. Politics , for you please.

I agree , INC is staring at yet
another rout in just 13 months. The only consolation is the AAP is gaining at
their cost, not the BJP. This is the level of competition (in
the spirit of staying positive) that has started in Indian politics these
days.

Not once could I
get anyone asking / claiming / bench-marking –
INC gave an education coverage of close XX % to all Delhi people and now
BJP or AAP will give them more than XX+ Y % .

Party Z build XX
toilets / XX ( facilities ) for Delhi folks and Party L and M would take a step ahead and get
more being built with additional facilities and accessibility.

Nowhere are we
looking at taking forward the good work done by one party by another.

The entire Delhi
elections have now come to just pre poll surveys, celebrity stars and ministerial fire power,
allegations and scams and mud rubbing.

Each and every
channel and media can be easily attributed to any one party they are indirectly
supporting.

Party leaders are
coming with vision documents to ensure in case they fail to deliver if elected
they can always go back and say this was a vision and hence a moving point.

These leaders are
promising the stars for average Delhi people and may be moons for the not so
average people.

In the process of
all of this – one thing is for sure. For marketers like me there are ample on
ground executions / innovations which all these parties have done. Right from
flash mob , booth selfies , 3D holographic speech , radio jingles, press
coverage , VC , songs and ring tunes and a heavy marketing budget to push
through across print and TV media and a not to forget fashion statement of
cough and mufflers and name inked suit lengths.

Just imagine , if
instead of spending so much on this frenzy all the parties and leaders would
have invested this money in the welfare of the people of Delhi , we would have already got a neat and a
positive changed look and couple of things would have got improved in Delhi.

For running a city or country, one needs focus, precision and sustenance.
Issues like corruption cannot be eradicated overnight. Also, at times, there
are certain necessary evils required for the functioning of a government.A key
insight.

PS- The views are completely
personal and may be 100% right or wrong and hence fell free to discuss and
debate and share some shining light with me as well . And yes, I am an Indian
and a Delhi boy above all and I do care for my city - Delhi. Let’s work in making it a better city .

You may think its the power and the pride that comes with the post which an IPS officer holds or some of you may say its the
sheer status the word IPS reflects upon . The perks like most of us
know , is having an unprecedented power , a lal-batti , a huge team which does
' Jai Hind ' and a whole lot of a new world .

Given, I have had a good fortune
to be in a family of IPS and know and understand from them what is it being an
IPS officer most of the above mentioned movies or may be the image we tend paint
in our minds is very different from what actually is an IPS officer and what
all does he undergoes to be one.

I would put my take on this and
share with you all my thoughts on what is a life of an IPS .

Studying is just a part of it .

competitive examination scenarios but also one o…

There is something about rains and open spaces that make me a little more than hilarious . And not only me , couple of others as well .

Today , rains in Delhi bought back the festive cheer killing the week long SMOG clouding all around Delhi / NCR . As I up for an early morning catch-up breakfast with a few special folks , we decided let's step out and drive away to a place far from the traffic snarls yet has a festive cheer .

The thought came to go to Kodaikanal . While you may think I am crazy and my rest of the gang mad but then this is how life should be - unplanned , unbiased and unimaginable yet positive .

Known world over as the princess of hill stations this place has made me fall in love all over again . My first thought on reaching here was , this can't be in India . This has to be a foreign location. Pristine surrounding , lovely people to talk to and spend time with and not to forget the bicycles that can be rented to take a ride or two around the famous Kodaikan…

Everytime I travel, I look forward to meeting new people. New places as well can be explored but what is home without humans!? Off late, besides the flights getting delayed, I like to reach the airport ahead of my scheduled departure timing & sit around in the lounge & read or chit-chat. Works for me. Last week was fun & yet a bit hectic. During one of my lounge visits I hosted a dear friend ( though exactly for 15 minutes ) for a small #CoffeewithKaran session & off he had to go. In those 15 minutes we spoke in true blue corporate styles. First 5 minutes updates from him and I sipped my hot chocolate and then the next 5 minutes updates from my side. The remaining 5 minutes were spent on discussing ' better than before' . During my flight I met an amazing doctoral student or a fellowship candidate as she likes to be described. She was pursing her close 4 years doctor fellowship from a premium institute and such was her focus that she decided not to get married …
